Found out yesterday that my brother (lives in the Ruidoso, NM) located and procured for me a Unit Wide Cow Elk tag for Unit 36. He's been focused on bear hunting in a remote valley that's tough to access. Says he's been covered up with elk and at one point had 6 bulls within view at one time. He said getting a cow won't be a problem. I'll be out there the week of Thanksgiving to give a whirl. This will be my first elk and first out of state hunt. Really looking forward to it. And elk meat to boot...Oh yea.

Heckuva good brother. Fantastic meat coming to your house.

A NM cow elk hunt is something I've been meaning to do for a long time.

Yeah, got lucky on this deal. Can't wait. My brother got a cow last year. Took him all of 30 minutes of hunting to spot, stalk and shoot. I'm hoping for a little more time in the field but I'll take what they give.

I plan to retire out there in a couple more years. I love all the outdoor opportunities out there.

Man I love unit 36, I've hunted it several times as I have a friend from Nogal with occasional access to tags. Good luck and I have no doubt you'll be eating some great elk steaks this fall. I'm Jealous for sure. up

A few other things you'll need - New Mexico License and Habitat Stamp. By the way, that hunt for cow elk around Thanksgiving is a RESIDENT ONLY hunt(unless on private land), so make sure your brother is with you when you hunt!

grill Elk is the only animal I don't make sausage out of. For me it is my favorite game animal to eat. food


I Feed Indian Corn. The deer love it and all the colors make them stay at the feeder longer.

I was told NM did away with non-resident cow elk tags across the board unless private land hunt? Is this not true. My wife shot a huge cow elk 3 yrs ago and would love to go back.

Non residents cannot apply for cow elk tags through the draw. There are two types of landowner vouchers- Ranch Only (RO) which are good only for the deeded acreage of the ranch they are issued or Unit Wide (UW). UW tags can be used on public land in the same season as the resident tags obtained through the draw. In units with more than one antlerless season, you pick which one you are going to hunt when you validate the voucher and purchase the license.

Ranch only tags offer flexibility in scheduling.

Hope this helps.
